Wilmington, Del., June 21. The fnitoil States Circuit Court for the District ot Delaware today handed (joivn a decision declaring that the al leged iHiwdor trust, which is dominat tj by the I.

The action against the powder .trust was begun by the government in 1907 and was directed against 43 corporate and individual defendants. The suit as to 1 of the defendants Was dis missed because some of the concerns are out of existence or it ' was not shown that they vere parties -to the combination. ' The court, in an interlocutory de cree, fixed October 16th as the date to hear both sides of the action as to the nature of the injunction to be granted, and consider a "plan for dissolving aid combination which shall be sub mitted by the petitioner and the de fendant or any of them, to the end that this court may ascertain and de termine upon a plan or method for Bch dissolution which will not de prive the defendants of the opportunl (r to rc-crcate out of the elements i?t composing Bai5 "combination, a new condition which shall be honestly in harmony with and not repugnant to the law." 4; .V This follows to some extent the de crees by the Unifhd States Supreme Court in the Standard Oil and Tobac co cases. There are 13 corporate and 15 indi vidual defendants declared to be in the illegal combination. A majority of the individual defendants are mem bers of the DuPont family, all of whom except Edniond G. Buckner, are each dirortors of the DuPont Company, or ganized in 1902. and the DuPont Com pany organized in 1903, or of one of them. Thomas Coleman DuPont, is also president of both of them. Buck ner is an active director of the In ternational Smokeless . Powder & Chemical Company. Corporate Defendants. The corporate defendants are; The Hazard Powder Co., Laflin & Rand Powder Co., Eastern Dynamite Co., Fairmont Powder Co., International Smokeless Powder & Chemical Co., Judson Dynamite & Powder Co., Dela are Securities Company, Delaware Investment Co., California Investment Co., E. I. DuPont DeNemours & Co., of Pennsylvania; DuPont Internation a! Powder Co., E. I. DuPont DeNe mours Powder Co., E. I. DuPont De Nemours & Co. The only member of the DuPont family mentioned in the suit, who is not included among those found to be violating the law, is Henry A. DuPont; one of the United States Senators from Delaware. In his case the courts wind that in June, 190G, a year before the suit was begun, "he resigned all his ollicial positions in the defendant corporations and that since that time ne has had neither real nor nominal connection with the management of any of the defendant corporations." The decision written by Judge W.

CAUSEJF CRISIS finance Committee Was Overthrown as Result of Action in Senate. DEMAND GENERAL REVISION Result of Coalition Between Insurgent Republicans and Democrats Bitter Fight Before the Resolution Passed. Washington, June 21. The throw- ng of the Democratic wool revision bill into the Senate today drove the nsurgent Republicans of that body into an open coalition with the Dem ocrats, in a demand for a general re vision of the tariff, and broifght about the threatened crisis in the Finance Committee's control of the Senate. At the end of a bitter fight the resolution by Senator Gore requiring the Fi nance Committee .to report back the wool bill before July 10th, was passed by a vote of 39 to 18. Western Republicans who have fought tthe reciprocity measure, tak- ng up challenges tnrown down bv the Democratic -leaders followed each oth er in rapid succession in their ultima tums to the Senate leaders. These ul timatums were invariably that before the reciprocity bill is permitted to pass a Republican Senate will be forc ed to undertake a revision of other schedules of the tariff including much more than the woolen revision. bill and the free list bill, which have gone through the House of Representatives. ur the affirmative votes cast for the Gore motion overthrowing the Fi nance Committee, 16 were Republi cans. They were Senators Borah. uourne, Bristow, Brown, Clapp. Craw ford, Cummins. Dixon. Gronna. Jones. tvenyon, L.aFollette, Nelson, Poindex- ter, Townsend and Works. This in eluded the full -insurgent strength of l-i and in addition Senators Jones, .Nelson and Tqwnsend. Senator My era was, tha only Democrat voting with . 1. ..T .l.ll - , i . . . . . . uie xvepuuueans against tne motion. As the result of the Senate's action. Senator Penrose before adjournment, called a meeting of the Finance Com mittee oi wnicn' ne is chairman, tor 10:30 o'clock tomorrow morning and be and other regular Republicans pre dicted than when the Senate convenes at noon tomorrow the wool measure, together with the free list bill will be reported adversely. Notable speeches on reciprocity were made In both branches of Con gress today. Senator Root, announc Ing that he favored the agreement, ad vocated and explained his amendment to the wood pulp and paper provision of the bill, around . which amendment the reciprocity fight has centered and which amendment President Taft op poses on the ground that it might jeopardize the whole agreement. Re publican Leader Mann, in the House, attacked tne noot amendment as a violation of the Canadian, reciprocity agreement. Today's fight began the instant that the wool revision bill appeared from the House of Representatives. Sena tor Gore apparently with jthe approv al of Democratic leaders, moved that the Finance Committee be instructed to report- the bill back to the Senate on or before July 10th." His admitted purpose was to prevent the Finance Committee from holding the bill in definitely or from failing to report It at all. The result of the Gore' motion was to disrupt completely the lines that have formed in the Senate that it can not be foretold now when a vote can be reached on the reciprocity bill or whether enough votes can be muster ed to pass it without amendment. Senators Cummins, Nelson, Craw ford. LaFollette, Jones and other Re publican insurgents from Northwest etn States, who have opposed the reci procity bill because of alleged discrim ination against the agricultural inter ests, declared that before a vote would be permitted on the reciprocity bill they would demand that the other schedules of the tariff be taken up and would Insist upon an attempt to tack many of them upon the recipro city nieasure. . The Republican leaders, notably Senators Penrose, Smoot, .Gallinger and Lodare. all members of the Fi nance Committee, declared that such a limitation upon the actions of the Senate's chief committee was "uniair. uncalled for and unreasonable Senator Penrose characterized the Gore, resolution as "rank absurdity and shallow demacogism The insurgent Republicans took up the fight by declaring that the Finance CorbmitteV must either report out the free list bill, the wool bill and other measures of tariff revision, or prepare for a . long fight to secure a vote on Canadian reciprocity. .-.V.'

'A TAFT ATTACKED DRUG FRAUDS Sends Message to Congress Urging That Purer Food and -Drug Law be Amended A Blow at False Remedies. Washington, June 21'. Manufactur ers or "dangerous drug tratds" re ceived a scratching arraignment at the' ceived a scathing arraignment at the message he transmitted to both Houses of Congress today in which he declared that the nare food and drug law should be amended at once, as a matter of emergency. Recent decisions of the Sluprenie Court of the United States in which vital points of weakness in the pure food law were pointed out, was the Initiative on which the President urged new legis lation. President Taft is of the opinion that the sale of dangerously adulterated drugs, or the sale of :drugs under nowingly false claims as to their ef fect in disease, constitutes such an evil and warrants It being called to the attention of Congress. In part the message is as follows: "Fradulent misrepresentations of the curative value of nostrums not only operate to defraud purchasers, but are a distinct menace to the pub lic health. There are none so cre- dulus as sufferers from disease. The need is urgent for legislation which will prevent the raising of false hopes of speedy cures of serious ail ments by mis-statements of fact as to worthle-s mixtureB on which the sick will rely while their disease progresses unchecked. "I fear if no remedial'legislation be granted at this session, that the good which has already. been accomplished in regard to these nostrums will be undone and the people of the coun try will be deprived ' of a powerful safeguard against dangerous fraud." It is expected that the House will take the matter up at an early date. DEATH AT WASHINGTON, N. C. Good Wman Passes Away After an Ex . tended Illness. (Special Star Telegram.) Washington, N.

The British na tion shows not the slightest sign of diminishing favor towards monarchi cal government. A half century of quiet life under Queen Victoria has been succeeded by a stirring decade, which has seen a coronation and two State funerals. Yet the public ap petite is unsated, but rather augment ed, in its enthusiasm lor royalty and kingly display. Never before has this enthusiasm reached such a high pitch, and the ceremonies attendant upon tomorrow's great event, the .cor onation of King George V, appear ikely to be marked by a degree of ex citement and public fervor unrivalled on any great State ceremonies in past times. The King and Queen spent the day as busily as any previous day of this excitins period, receiving coronation visitors, attending to matters of State and dropping in on the horse show at Olympia. Wherever they appeared they were the objects of unbounded enthusiasm. The eve of coronation found Lon don at the highest point of fever heat. Immense crowds of preceding days came tonight, seething masses all de termined to gain vantage ground to view the morning's royal procession. Late at night a strong escort of light guards reached Westminster Ab bey, conveying a great sealed wagon fr whteh the royal reealia .was car tied, -aiul - handed over the , htetoru: ciowns, sceptres and swords to the dean and canons, who placed them for safe custody in the Jerusalem cham ber, surrounded by .an armed guard of eieht tower waders, until the arrival of the royal procession. In preparation for tomorrow s or deal, and after a trying ay, Kin George and Queen Mary passed the evening ' along with the Prince of Wales in Buckingham Palace, before which creat multitudes waited patient ly, hoping to obtain a sight of their majesties. . There had been considerable anx iety concerning the weather, but the clouds gave place at midnlgnt to a beautiful starry sky and hopes rose for tomorrow. Dense crowds of peo ple who had retired early about that time began to make their way towards the center of the city. Late trains End streets, poured thousands upon thousands into the capital until the streets overflowed. Long before dawn drums and trum nets gave evidence that 60,000 troop3 vere preparing for their strenuous aa- ties and the people waited curiously to ?ee them march out.

New Haven, .Conn., June 21. In a speech at the Yale alumni luncheon here today President Taft made his first, public comment on the decisions of the United States Supreme Court in the Standard Oil and American To bacco Company cases. The President made it clear that in his opinion these decisions have .clear ed the way so that alf honest and in telligent business men can proceed withW feaj of the Sherman anti trust iaw. He expressed the belief that much of the doubt, that in the minds of many business men and law yers hung about that law, has been dispelled and that business all over the country will be greatly benefitted thereby. Associate Justice Lamar up cn whom Yale today conferred the de gree of Doctor of Laws, sat on the" platform with the President and listen ed with evident interest to the latter's glowing eulogy of the court. The President said in part: "The University hasi today honored a Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. It is a deserved hon or. The most sacred function tat a President has to perform is the ap pointment of men to thatbody. It Is the bulwark of our liberties. In its work of construction it recognizes the wonderfully comprehensive character of our constitution in meeting the needs of sane progress; but it stands between us and extreme and unwise radicalism. It stands for the institu tions that" served our lathers, and will continue to serve us if the country Is to live. It has fallen to my lot to have five members of that court bear my commission a lot,' I think, that has fallen to but few fresidents and there is no duty that I have discharg ed that has given me more heartfelt concern, that has worn more upon my conscience than the selection of the men pure and upright of character, able and learned in the law, jurists and statesmen, with courage to decide and assert their right. Whether that duty has been well performed or ot, the country must decide but I am wili ng to stand upon the record of the Yous-fr-as5 uV'-rftade;6ft&s rfis,4 iance the ffve Mev4ipiotG'ir' "ine country nas oung upon tne decisions of that court in respect to a statute, the construction of which has given great concern to the bus iness and other .communities of this country. I believe those decisioris have done, and will continue to do great good to all the business of the country and that they have laid down line of distinction which it is not difficult for honest and intelligent bus iness men to follow. They have said that that statute applies to conspi racies and attempts to restrain trade whih are undue or unreasonable, be cause their intent and effect U partly or wholly to monopolize, to exclude or suppress competition, and to con trol prices and not to combinations or associations in the normal develop ment of business where there may be some incidental restraint that was not the object of the combination or the association. Therefore, it becomes largely a question of fact and a ques tion of conscience with the business community that they can well follow and make the standard of their future action." 101 NEW MEDICOS.
